September 4 A Frittata

 

There was much on the front page to think and talk about today as court decisions, international military strikes, and challenges to vaccines were all headlines and made me cringe and sad to my core. Perhaps, that is why the recipe of the day at the bottom of the page, brought memories to my heart and a smile to my core.  

I had never even heard of a frittata until my mother-in-law introduced me to the always-ready-to-make-at-the-drop-of-a-hat-for-one-or-a-crowd-smile-guaranteed recipe.  Again and again, she produced them seemingly from left over veggies, wayward meats, or wilted zucchini in her fridge as a hungry child or grandchild descended on her kitchen.  Somehow, she should be smiling thinking the humble frittata is recommended in these trying times as a good comfort food in spite of the cost of eggs that would make her cringe!

In these challenging times, perhaps the frittata might just be a way to comfort our pockets and make us smile. It's going to be on my table tonight.
